Karwa Chauth Special Song Gali Mein Aaj Chand Nikla
As the festival of Karwa Chauth graces homes across India, the iconic melody “Gali Mein Aaj Chand Nikla” from Mahesh Bhatt’s Zakhm once again resonates in hearts and memories. The song, which beautifully mirrors the emotion of gazing at the moon in love and longing, continues to be synonymous with this festival.
Speaking exclusively about the song’s enduring appeal, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt shared his reflections on its deep emotional and cultural significance.
“On Karwa Chauth, as countless eyes look up at the night sky searching for the moon, I hope each one also discovers that quiet radiance within — the kind that doesn’t fade with sunrise,” Bhatt expressed with poetic serenity. “True love never seeks attention; it simply endures, remembers, and waits — like the moon, certain that somewhere, someone is still looking up.”
Bhatt credits lyricist Anand Bakshi and composer M.M. Kreem for giving cinematic immortality to this delicate sentiment through Zakhm.
“‘Gali Mein Aaj Chand Nikla’ is not just a song — it’s a tender breath caught between the sky and the heart. It speaks of love that waits in silence, of devotion that glows even in distance. That’s why it remains timeless,” he added.
Interestingly, Bhatt also reflected on how the song transcends cultural boundaries. Often associated with Karwa Chauth, it has also been embraced during Eid celebrations, symbolizing unity through shared emotions.
“You see, it’s all about perspective,” Bhatt mused. “When we use cinema and music to broaden our understanding of a divided world, we perform an act of healing. We bring together hearts that have grown cold and distant. That, to me, is the real power of storytelling — it can heal, it can unite. But yes, it can also divide. The choice will always be ours.”
Even decades after its release, “Gali Mein Aaj Chand Nikla” continues to illuminate nights of love, faith, and hope — a melody that reminds us that the moon we seek in the sky often reflects the one glowing quietly within.
